So yeah. The World Series ended last week. We talked about it at work and this young guy told me how much he really likes it when guys hit home runs and flip the bat and then stand and admire their hit. I thought to myself, hey, if this is what it takes to attract young people to baseball, then why not?

So this got me thinking, this type of behavior might benefit other sports. Like golf. How long before we start seeing golfers flip their clubs after a nice drive, or a nice approach shot? You could maybe get a second caddy to retrieve the clubs. Television ratings would skyrocket.

Then maybe, just maybe, you could also add a running race (or cart driving) element to see which golfer could get to his ball faster. This would also speed up play, thus allowing the course to accommodate more golfers and thus increase revenues for the course. And due to the added volume of golfers, you would pay less to play a round. It’s a win-win.

Hey, it doesn’t take a genius to figure this stuff out.
